NAHT members to be balloted on new offer from DESC
A new pay scale specifically for Manx teachers is being described as 'groundbreaking' by a teaching union.
The NAHT says it's received a final pay offer from the Department of Education, Sport and Culture as part of its ongoing negotiations over pay and conditions.
The new package includes the introduction of an Isle of Man weighting, similar to that offered to teachers in London, in recognition of the Manx economy and cost of living on the Island.
A ballot on the proposals has opened today.
National secretary Rob Kelsall says it's something the union has sought for some time:
Government plans to withdraw interest from reserve fund no longer required
Medical cannabis should be 'holistic', says pharmacistÂ
Peel Commissioners not adding 'discretionary' one percent increase to social housing rents
New organ donation laws set to come into force in coming weeks
